education accomplishment. it's unacceptable. i won't go through all of what you have to do. it's all about teachers and hiring the best and brightest, promoting the best and making sure they're well compensated. the key is teachers. and we got to put the kids at the top, the parents and the teachers and the teachers union is going to have to go behind and put kids first. [applause] that's number three. number four and this may not immediately connect with why the budget has anything to do with jobs but let me tell you if you're an entrepreneur about risking your life savings to open a business or a company investing in billions of dollars in factories in america. you're not going to do that if you think we're on the road to greece. and that's the road we're on. so i will commit to you i will do everything in my power to cut federal spending and cap it and get us on track to a balanced budget so we can create more jobs here. [applause] and number five, i want to champion small business. i want to make it easier
